OPT-7410 Diagnostic Imaging and Technology with Laboratory
The Diagnostic Imaging and Technology course provides introductory knowledge on functionality of commonly employed diagnostic imaging methods in optometric practice. The basic skills acquired in this course will be built during additional advanced disease courses in the curriculum. This course will cover imaging principles, acquisition techniques, and imaging interpretations. The imaging procedures and diagnostic testing presented will include optical coherence tomography with and without angiography (OCT, OCT-A), visual field perimetry, ocular photography with and without the use of contrast dye, fundus auto-fluorescence (FAF), and ophthalmic ultrasound. The material will be presented in lecture (either synchronous or asynchronous sessions) while hands-on acquisition techniques will be elaborated on during laboratory and workshop sessions.
